Bali Eyes Lyrics

Ate a mushroom, turned into Bali
Didn't look, it just jumped down my throat
I was starting to die until I took a trip to Bali
Their eyes are god in a glass full of jelly
Bali in my eyes
My skin turned the color of earth
I felt like a tree
People asked my name the next day
They remembered who I was
I took off my shoes
And my feet, they took root
I've got Bali in my eyes
When I opened up my eyes, first thing
Early light in Bali
What a day it's gonna be
I think it looks good already
So hold me close before
All the doors start knocking!
Bali in my eyes...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i've always loved this song and listened to it a lot before i went to bali. out there mushroom shakes can be bought...the balinese are a very sociable nation, and they do ask who you are, where you are from etc...and will spot you the next time they see you. granted they ususally have something to sell, but very friendly and charming with it

re: doors knocking - can only imagine he's staying at a place with a few other people and wants a quick root off his missus before he gets woken up to go for an early morning surf? there always seems to be lots of people - tourists and locals in bali

eyes are god - in a glass full of jelly - dunno. is he saying they have beautifull kindness in their eyes? maybe the mushroom was taking effect then

fantastic song - the stipped down accoustic feel and gentle wailing at the beginning too reminds me of balinese musicians
